Amanda Keith-Woolf was at the home when officers showed up to seize the animals.

Keith would not say why she and her relatives had so many animals or what they were doing with them.

However, a woman who runs an independent animal rescue operation in Virginia said that Amanda Keith was selling the dogs online.

Animal control agents looked over conditions at the Pine Forrest Road home, which had been the subject of numerous animal-abuse reports from neighbors.

According to investigators, a grease fire had killed several animals and prompted Wednesday's seizure.

The animals were taken to the Greenville Humane Society, where they will receive food and veterinary care and if the court decides to remove them permanently from the owners, they will be evaluated for their suitability for adoption.

Before officers showed up, neighbor Elizabeth Powers said that she removed 20 dogs from the property.

She said she hopes to find families who can take the dogs so they don't wind up with at the Humane Society.

"I have people standing by and I just want these dogs to get good homes and be cared for," Powers said.

Please do not buy over the internet without fully checking out a breeder first! Ask for a vet reference and other professional references and if no health guaranty is offered DO NOT BUY!

Makes me mad how rabid child services and animal control can be with minor cases that come to their attention, yet you hear about cases like this or a human child dies because nobody had them on the radar
